I come from Alabama
This old banjo on my knee
I'm headed towards Louisiana
For my true love to see
It rained all night the day we left
The weather was bone dry
The sun so hot I nearly froze myself
Susannah don't you cry
Oh, Oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
Cause, I come from Alabama
With this old banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamt I saw my, my sweet Susannah
Comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth
And a tear was in her eye
I'm coming home from the South
Susannah don't you cry
Oh, oh Susannah
Don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama
With this old banjo
This old banjo
This old banjo on my knee
This old banjo, on my knee
